Conflict of Interest Forms
The National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) Conflict of Interest Policy is created and implemented to ensure the integrity of the entire accreditation process. Individuals interacting with the process (Validation Team, Team Captain, School Consultant, District Accreditation Commission, National Accreditation Commission, and NLSA National Office Staff) must not have any real or perceived financial, institutional, or personal interest(s) in the outcome of the Validation Team Report or overall Accreditation process that would impact their ability to be objective and independent throughout the process. Prior to an individual’s appointment to work with the NLSA process, they are required to complete an NLSA Conflict of Interest Policy and Code of Ethical Behavior Agreement. Timely completion of this document allows for the determination of any real or perceived conflict of interest which would prevent service to NLSA.
